Never tweeted until it became clear NYS wasn't going to #stopconstruction without a LOT of noise about it.

@BrianLehrer @SheenaWrightNYC What should we do if former employers aren’t responding to requests to sign our employment verification forms?

@CapeCoral My elderly uncle is unable to call but please please add him to the prioritization list. He's at 504 Retunda Pkwy.

@AllOfItWNYC @soundcheck @kylebuchanan @WNYC When we were kids, the proclaimers’ “I’m gonna be” came on and when it got to the part where they sing “da da da, da da da” my brother started singing along, full blast “Yolanda! Yolanda!” He was certain that was the person they were walking 1000 miles to see :)

@BrianLehrer @LiuNewYork @WNYC If the class size mandate goes through without making sure there are enough qualified teachers to hire ( and there aren’t!), it’ll create a situation where underprepared teachers are hired who are less effective, and more likely to leave the profession quickly

@BrianLehrer @KatherineJWu @TheAtlantic I tested myself with an at home antigen test on day 8 and still had a strong positive line... makes me pretty concerned for the 5-day guidance!

@BrianLehrer @DrLeanaWen I’d love @DrLeanaWen to speak to safety for babies. I hear about risk mitigation in k-12 schools, but at 2.5 yrs and 4 mos my daughters are in a daycare/nursery school where of course there won’t be masks or vaccines. I worry the protocols in place from last year won’t cut it now

@lsarsour I think you can also get it as part of a 2020 refund if you didn't qualify based on 2019 returns. That was a way to get $$ out ASAP, but I'm pretty sure it's not the only way.

[Brigid @bfalkin]

@melissadderosa Let's not blow it by loosening restrictions while absolute numbers are still high, and ignoring a more contagious variant on top of that... oh wait, you already are doing that.

[Brigid @bfalkin]

@NYGovCuomo Yes, numbers are coming down somewhat. They're still HIGH. Why on earth are you loosening restrictions now, with a more contagious variant out there?? Irresponsible.

[Brigid @bfalkin]

@HealthNYGov has vaccine eligibility expanded just to people 65+, or also to people with high risk underlying conditions? I'm reading the latter, but only see updated info on website about eligibility for 65+ and groups 1a and 1b... please confirm!

[Brigid @bfalkin]

@AllOfItWNYC @WNYC @lanceopp @jenchung @DaveedDiggs @SnowpiercerTV @jonathanalter @KhushAndOJ @AllOfItWNYC @jenchung heard you report NY opens vaccine eligibility to 65+ AND people with preexisting conditions. @NYGovCuomo's tweet only says 65+, and NYS verification site doesn't include any new Qs about medical conditions that would confirm eligibility. can you confirm?

@SteveSchmidtSES Just a reminder.

@albamonica Former Defense Sec. Mattis: "Our Constitution and our Republic will overcome this stain and We the People will come together again in our never-ending effort to form a more perfect Union, while Mr. Trump will deservedly be left a man without a country.”

[Brigid @bfalkin]

@ZachReports I thought 1B was supposed to include those groups AND people with high risk conditions??

"The President undermined American democracy baselessly for months. As a result, he’s culpable for this siege, and an utter disgrace," said Tom Bossert, President Trump's first homeland security adviser

Folks were wondering how the crowd got past the barricades at the Capitol:

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

Statement from former President George W. Bush on the “Insurrection at the Capitol..”

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

You can’t describe what’s happening in the Capitol as a “small group of extremists” when they’re being supported by the president, 16% of the Senate, 1/4 of the House, the local police forces & officials at the Pentagon.
